VCDL-PAC ALERT

More disinformation from the Jeannemarie Davis campaign today about her
resounding VCDL-PAC ANTI-endorsement.

The Bloomberg endorsed Anti-Gun leader sent an email to her list
attempting to explain the VCDL-PAC warning to gun owners about her
ACTUAL RECORD.

She states:

"As the convention approaches, I anticipate continued attacks from a
group that has also attacked the NRA in the past. They have questioned
my support for the 2nd Amendment...I would like to take this opportunity
to set the record straight!…"

The VCDL-PAC would like to take this as an opportunity to clarify why we
warned gun owners about her and double-down on our "ANYBODY but
Jeannemarie" email earlier this week.

Note that in the above statement Jeannemarie says that VCDL had
"attacked the NRA in the past." It's been quite a while, but, yes, when
VCDL felt that the NRA was wrong about a position important to
Virginia's gun owners, we asked our members to contact them. If that
were to ever happen again, we would do the same. But what does that
have to do with Jeannemaries's candidacy? Nothing. She simply wants to
divert everyone's attention from the fact that her current NRA rating is
"D", the lowest of all of the Statewide Republican candidates!

Jeannemarie's email only talks about her old voting record as a Delegate
(which wasn't bad), but stays clear of her newer voting record as a
Senator (which was dismal). In fact, she was trending more anti-gun
every year as a Senator.

We restate the facts, below, from our VA-ALERT earlier this week.

Jeannemarie Davis did not just vote badly on guns, she was a gun-control
leader. In 2007 she carried and proudly promoted SB 827, a "gun-show
loophole" bill that would have hurt gun shows across Virginia and made
selling, renting, trading, or transferring a privately-owned gun without
going through a dealer a FELONY.

To add insult to injury, Jeannemarie Davis invited gun-hating New York
Mayor Michael Bloomberg to Virginia in 2007 to stand side-by-side with
her as she pushed her anti-gun agenda! Bloomberg also liked Jeanniemarie
so much, he endorsed her last run for Senate.

A sampling of some more of Jeannemarie's other bad votes:

• In 2006 she voted against HB 1106, which would have allowed a person
to carry concealed anywhere on their private property or in their
private vehicle without a CHP
• In 2006 she voted against SB 58, which would have removed the option
for localities to fingerprint CHP applicants
• In 2005 she voted against HB 2535, which allows CHP holders to have a
loaded handgun concealed in their vehicle on school property if they
stay in the vehicle
• In 2005 she voted for SB 807, another "gun show loophole" bill
• In 2001 she voted for Delegate McEachin's Amendment to HB 1969 that
would have gutted preemption by allowing localities to enact gun control
restrictions

This is the record she is trying to set straight with you? Good luck
explaining all those bad votes, Jeannemarie.

The reason Jeannemarie won't return the VCDL survey is because she
doesn't want to advertise her Senate voting record.

Whether or not the VCDL-PAC supports a candidate is based on both the
candidate's actual Second Amendment voting record and the results of
their VCDL survey. Jeannemarie has a bad voting record and NO survey.
What does she expect us to do?

BOTTOM LINE:

Jeannemarie Davis has a bad voting record on guns and has failed to
answer the VCDL survey.

Yes, we do differ with the NRA. They gave Jeannemarie a "D". We think
that's overly generous.
